SAN ANTONIO — NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS), which operates an asphalt refinery at 7 Foundation Drive in Savannah, has announced that for the fifth year in a row, it made Fortune’s list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, coming in at number 38.

Some of the considerations in NuStar’s selection for the 100 Best honor include the company’s employee benefits plan, rated the best in its industry by Hewitt Associates; its reward and recognition programs; commitment to volunteerism and charitable giving; and special corporate culture.
